historics at Pacific Raceways

I know, very slow on this. I've read some chatter about folks from north of the 49th parallel heading south for this weekend. The price of fuel isn't an obstacle. Good for them.

Big confession. I've never gone to Pacific Raceways in any of its name incarnations: Seattle International Raceway, Kent or Pacific. Someday I'll rectify that. Maybe when the price of fuel goes down.

Here's a 1961 clipping for a race there. Features some info on Canadian racer Arleigh Pilkey whose racing credentials went back to the teens. He was the elder statesman of racing at that point with a couple more years of racing left in him even in 1961.
